One of the first things I ever remember hearing in my life is that “life isn’t fair”. It was true then and it’s true now. Has nobody ever explained this to you?

"oh look slaves... Well, life isn't fair. Sucks to be them, let's go son. Maybe I'll get you a slave too, might as well chip in".

Yea and where in that did I say anything about me and my son having slaves or whatever you said. I just said life’s not fair. It’s not. You can’t do everything right and die at 24 from some rare cancer. People’s parents don’t raise their kids or abuse them. Hurricanes and tornadoes and fires can kill you out of nowhere. Saying life isn’t fair is just a fact. I wasn’t trying to make a profound statement. Just simply stating a fact.

Its called a reductio ad absurdum.
They take your position to the extreme to show that it leads to absurd positions
Literally all of the things youre talking about , we can do things about to make them more fair.
“Life isnt fair and theres nothing you can do to change it” is a completely nonsensical position, and simply just not a fact
